A fragment from a Cairns page lists Craig Chemist ads for corn relief and skin tonics with various prices. It notes residents like Mrs. L. Hanon and Mr. W. McKay traveling, and mentions local shops, herbal extracts, and preparations. The Presbyterian Church adds Coronation Day services on June 2.
A court sat at the Courthouse to hear an appeal by Alice Griffiths against a £178 valuation on allotment 1 rood in Melmod Street. The panel, including H. Sturt and A. Williamson, noted the land’s central position opposite the railway and near the arterial road, while the appellant argued £125 paid years earlier and sought £375, with council plans to raise water rates and future charges.
Appellants contest a residential valuation arguing overtaxation compares to higher private residence costs. The court raises questions about location, access to water service, and the impact of railway station proximity on value. The P.M. upholds the valuation amid the complainants insistence of overvaluation and delays in improvements.
